My songs on SoundClick: For your review, critiques and enjoyment
Hi folks,
I don't think I've ever posted any of my songs here, at least not recently. I mostly post them on my Facebook page and occasionally get some feedback from several people (usually the same several people)
Some disclaimers: First of all, I'm not a very good singer, many people compare my vocals as "Dylanesque", it's got that nasally, east coast, Jewish thing going for it. That's why whenever I get the opportunity I get a female vocalist to sing on one of my songs. I think I have three songs posted with female vocalists. Also, my production techniques still have a lot of room for improvement, even though I've improved greatly over the years, my songs aren't polished enough to be on a professional album.
I think my strong suit is my writing, especially my lyrics. I'm very proud of many of the lyrics I wrote, and they most likely could be heard on a professional song.
So basically, I'm not a professional, just a very dedicated hobbyist. I've been writing and recording since the late 70's, starting on my father's two track reel to reel, then on a 4 track cassette, and then finally on my DAW. On SoundClick I have over 60 songs posted, mostly listed in reverse chronological order (the latest first, the earliest last), although there are a lot of exceptions.
I don't expect anyone to listen to all 60+ songs, so I'll just give you a list of my top 5 favorite songs, that I think came out the best: "What She Said", "A Soul Alone", "Fully Smooth and Blue", "Not About The Blame (live version)", and "Grey Blues and Golden Violets (Feels Like Home)" But feel free to browse the three pages worth of songs, other than those listed.
As I said, I get very little feedback on Facebook, although most of the feedback I receive is positive. So I would really appreciate some honest feedback from you all. I've listened to many of your songs and always feel a bit intimidated in posting my songs here (which is why I usually don't). I'm strictly a keyboard player, I play all the virtual instruments on my MIDI keyboard, including acoustic and electric virtual guitars. Most of the songs I write from scratch, but there are a few songs I use Construction Kits (that I buy from Big Fish Audio), and usually add keyboard and guitar parts, along with the vocals, of course.
So thanks for taking the time to listen to some of my songs, and will appreciate any feedback, critiques, suggestions you offer.
Also, I'm always open to collaborations, especially good vocalists (male or female) that would be interested in singing on a future song I would write. Here's the link to the my songs page on SoundClick:
